“In 2016, I suffered a debilitating concussion that left me unable to work for years,” recalls Janzen. “I couldn’t walk straight, listen to music, have conversations with my wife, or take care of my kids. It was a very difficult season and without other’s help, my family and I would have been swept away.

“We often think of the dark valleys of life as places where God feels distant, but in this season of suffering, I found that the Good Shepherd was closer than ever…Instead of being swept away, I was lifted out of darkness into light,” continues Janzen. “My head still was a mess at times (and there were many tears over the course of my long recovery) but in the deepest place of my soul, I was secure.”
Along with the single, Janzen releases the CCM Magazine-premiered “Took Hold” live music video featuring the Powerhouse Fellowship Soul Choir and a soulful rhythm section. Filmed by Mitch Fillion at All Saints Kingsway, the video can be seen now at https://youtu.be/ImIUsiEQ7qs.

Thousand Foot Krutch Drops “So Far Gone” With Art Of Dying
The roots of this project began in 2012 when TFK took a huge risk, walking away from record label life to release the SiriusXM Octane-nominated “Epic Album of the Year” and Billboard No. 1 selling Hard Rock album The End Is Where We Begin. Launching with the band’s biggest sales debut to date, the five-star acclaimed indie album went on to spark five Active Rock hits and four Christian No. 1s that continue to resonate with the band’s fans.
By mid-summer 2014, The End Is Where We Begin had gathered 215 million YouTube streams alone, while averaging 296,000 plays every day.
The success landed TFK’s founder, vocalist, and songwriter Trevor McNevan, bassist Joel Bruyere, and drummer Steve Augustine, on the biggest rock festivals of that time nationally, including Rock on the Range and mainstage appearances at Rocklahoma, Carolina Rebellion, and more. Since then, the band has literally received billions of streams.
In Khati Berry‘s own words, “Everything”emerged during a profoundly spiritual moment. As she engaged in a praise and worship session while about to break her fast, a divine voice echoed in her heart, proclaiming, “My mercy over you is everything.” The words persisted and transformed into a beautiful song that took root in her soul. This divine encounter led her to reflect upon Romans 9:15-16, which underscores that God’s mercy is not dependent on human desire or effort but is a divine gift.
“Everything” is a testament to the boundless mercy and compassion of God. Khati Berry’s heartfelt lyrics convey the message that God’s mercy transcends human striving. It’s a reminder that His grace makes things easier for us, reminding us that His mercy is real and ever-present.
The release of “Everything” and its accompanying music video is Khati Berry’s way of sharing this divine message with the world. She believes that this song will resonate deeply with others, offering solace, hope, and a profound connection with the Almighty.
The audio is available now on all music streaming platforms and the full music video can be viewed on her YouTube channel – Khati.
Trip Lee releases new single “Standby,” his 5th new single this year, featuring Hulvey. With production from himself, Lasanna “Ace” Harris and Joel McNeill, this song is about trusting God to move amidst trials.
Following the release of his latest single, “Confetti,” where Trip talked about operating from a place of victory, Trip takes a few steps back with “Standby” to share with people what it looks like for him to trust God when you don’t feel victorious. “Standby, He can lift your burdens when your hands tied. Step outside, close your eyes, let Him shade you. I feel alive when I hide, cause I’m made to… (Standby),” says Hulvey on the hook, creating a beautiful picture of what it looks like to trust God practically for him.
Standby, featuring a hook performed by Hulvey and two verses from Trip, speaks to the desire Trip and Hulvey both have to have faith and trust in God over themselves when life gets hard. “I made this song for those times where we feel overwhelmed and anxious. I always need reminders to stop chasing fake peace and stressing myself about things that are out of my control,” says Trip. “Standby is a reminder that God loves to carry our burdens for us, and we don’t have to bear that weight alone.”
This is the first time Trip Lee has been on a song with Hulvey since 2020 on the 116 day release, “Live Forever.” When asked about working with Hulvey on this song Trip said: “I love Hulvey and we’ve gotten to build a friendship over the past few years. We’ve been on a song together, but we hadn’t made anything that was just us yet. When Hulvey came by my house earlier this year, our hearts happened to be on the same page and I think the song came together beautifully. We both loved it right away and couldn’t wait to share it with the world.”

In April of this year, Trip released his first new single of 2023, “At The Cross” ft. Madison Ryann Ward kicking off his monthly release streak. Since then he’s released 3 more singles, “Lay Down,” “Glory,” and “Confetti” solidifying that he’s committed again to doing music. On top of that, he just fully release his first Podcast, “End.Notes.” Sponsored by VOICES of Our Daily Bread, Trip alongside his good friend and author, John Onwuchekwa, walk through his latest album, “The End,” track by track talking through the themes discussed and giving a peak into his creative process.
Trip Lee’s storied career began over a decade ago after a chance meeting with Lecrae and the Reach Records team at a show. 6 full length albums later and over 5 years of planting and pastoring churches, all while dealing with chronic fatigue, Trip is fully committed to music once again and ready to impact the world through hopeful lyricism and handcrafted sounds.
Looking toward the future, Trip’s aim is to “reframe and replace our vision of despair and deconstruction with hope and sanctification.” His new music is the fruit of his endurance and a reminder that even when we come to what feels like “the end,” There is More to The Story.
